My research program focuses on environmental factors and

Epidemiology, Vanderbilt University Medical Center (VUMC), and
joined the faculty in 2012. I have participated in several projects

Study, Nashville Breast Health Study, and the Southern Community
Cohort Study) and with other institutions (Nurses Health
